SECTION D: QUESTION 7 (NOVEL)
1. Around the World in 80 Days - Jules Verne
2. How I Met Myself - David A. Hill
3. The Railway Children - Edith Nesbit (retold by John Escott)

Based on one of the novels above, write about a character who shows
determination. Provide evidence from the text to support your
response.

Write:
in not less than 50 words
in continuous writing (not in note form) [10 marks]

The novel I studied is How I Met Myself written by David A.
Hill. This novel tells me a lot about this determined man named John
Taylor. For instance, he went to the library early in the morning and
even lied to his wife just to find more information about his
doppelganger. Flipping through old crumpled and dirty newspaper,
he managed to find an incident that was related to himself. Other
than that, he went to find an old lady who has hearing defeciency
just to get more information about his doppelganger. Her name was
Ms. Fisher. With that I conclude that John Taylor is a determined
man.
B
Based on the novel How I Met Myself written
by David A. Hill, I would choose John Taylor. The
evidence that supports my character who shows
determination is John Taylor always went to 7 Felka
Utca after his work to know the man who exactly
looks like him. Besides that, he also always went to
the caf, which owned by Mr Zsolt, after work
because he last seen the man who looks like him
was when the man is going into the caf.

Finally, John Taylor searched and founded
Mrs Fischer house. He also very patient to
know what was happen to Janos Szabo although
Mrs Fisher was talking slow because Mrs Fisher
was old and weak person. Based on my
evidence, I still remain that the character I have
choose John Taylor is a determined person
